Disney tales apparently don’t always end in happily ever after as Disney Dreamlight Valley ditches its plans for a free-to-play launch. Instead, Gameloft has opted to go with a buy-to-play business model with season passes when the cozy life sim launches out of early access on December 5th.

“As we look ahead to the official launch, with the learnings we’ve gained from early access, we’ve made the decision to remain a paid game for the foreseeable future. This means we will not make the transition to be a free-to-play game when we leave early access on December 5th,” Gameloft announced.

“This choice ensures that Disney Dreamlight Valley will be able to continue delivering on a premium game experience for all players,” the mobile game developer explained.

A digital copy of the base game will set you back $39.99 while a physical copy for consoles and Nintendo Switch with added in-game currency and cosmetics will go for $49.99. A Gold Edition with even more currency and better cosmetics will also be available for $69.99 while the Rift in Time expansion pass, and presumably, future expansions will be priced at $29.99.

More information can be found in the Disney Dreamlight Valley official site. Stay tuned for more information about the expansion pass on November 1st.
